HEATER FOR SAD-IRONS.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 77 0,005, datedSeptember 13, 1904.

Application led August 29, 1903.

To @ZZ whom, it may concern:

Beit known that I, MAURICE E. HADDEN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Savannah, in the county of Wayne and State of New York, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Heaters for Sad-Irons, of whichthe following is a specication.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in heaters forsad-irons; and its object is to provide a simple and inexpensive devicein which a sad-iron may be readily placed and which is provided withmeans whereby the hot gases may be equally distributed over the faces ofthe heater, so as to thoroughly heat the iron contained therein.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in thenovel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, which will behereinafter more fully described and claimed, and illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of theheater; and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section therethrough, showing a sadiron in position therein. Y

Referring to the figures by numerals of reference, 1 is the bottom of areceptacle having inclined sides 2, which are formed integral with acircular flange 3, extending downward below the bottom 1 and concentrictherewith. Apertures A are formed in the flange 3 adjacent the upperedge thereof, and a conical eX- tension 5 depends from the bottom 1, atthe center thereof, so as to deflect hot gases toward the iange 3. Across-strip 6 is secured in any suitable manner upon the flange 3, so asto extend over one side of the receptacle, and hinged to thiscross-strip is a cover 7, having a suitable handle 8, whereby it may bereadily raised or lowered.

In using the device the ange 3 is placed upon a stove or in any othersuitable position Serial No. 171,291. (No model.)

over a lire, and the sad-iron 9 is then placed within the receptacle andthe 'cover 7 moved into closed position. The products of combustion willpass upward into the compartment 10, formed between the flange 3 and thebottom 1 and sides 2 of the receptacle, and will be directed laterallyby the extension 5, and will then iiow outward through the apertures 4t.As the hot gases are distributed over the entire surface of thereceptacle, it will be understood that the sad-iron 9 will be quicklyand thoroughly heated. The cover 7 prevents soot and other undesirableparticles from contacting with the iron during the heating operation.

In the foregoing description I have shown the preferred form of myinvention; but I do not limit myself thereto, as I am aware thatmodifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit orsacrificing the advantages thereof, and I therefore reserve the right tomake such changes and alterations as may fall within the scope of myinvention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters-Patent, is-

In a sad-iron heater, the combination with a cylindrical casing open atthe bottom and having apertures therein adjacent the top thereof; of areceptacle integral with and suspended within the casing, saidreceptacle having inclined sides, a depending conical eXtension from thebottom of the receptacle, a cross-strip upon the receptacle, and aclosure hinged thereto and normally closing the receptacle.

In testimonywhereofI aiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
